Chapter 34 - Chapter 1: Moon’s Married Life

Ceres

For a vampire who doesn't know how to sleep, I finally managed to do so because I'm different from my kind. I might be a fallen rogue to their eyes but to the night Goddess, I was something more and blessed me with such gifts that I'm still figuring what are those. Though, I knew one of them was being able to switch my fallen rogue on or off and having a lovely mate that I couldn't ask for anything. But there were times that I wanted to relax like having a nice sleep and my lovely mate wasn't helping at all. Like what's happening now, I was in my deep sleep when my lovely mate seriously woke me up by shaking my shoulder intensely. For a human, that kind of shake would make anyone dizzy on how strong her 'wakeup call shake' can do.

I was indeed feeling the way Frizabelle shook my shoulder and it made me slightly take a peek on what look she's having by now. She was being a kid – an irritated kid to be exact. Kinda, cute though.

"Baby! How many times do I have to wake you up? It's getting late – I mean you were getting late. Dad will be furious." Frizabelle woke me up as she kept shaking my whole body to wake up.

"A kiss will do the trick." I groaned playfully as I pretended to be asleep again.

"In your face. Deal with Dad's wrath then." Frizabelle stopped from shaking me and started to pout that really looked so adorable.

I woke up which made me stretch my whole body before sitting up on the bed and pulled her closer to me so I could kiss her lovely-kissable pouty lips. I really love kissing her lips first thing in the morning since it really has a good taste like my favorite scent of hers; chocolate mint. I love it a lot. We kept kissing each other like we're making out until her father pack linked us. I was indeed an official member of their pack since I'm already wedded to their princess who was now looking pissed over such little disturbance. I can't help but smile while our lips are still attached to each other.

'Don't make me come up there.'

"We're coming, Dad." Frizabelle responded to her father through the pack link as we finished our make-out kiss in the morning. Though I knew she was getting a really foul mood because of it.

5 am

Like what I've said earlier, we're partially living with Frizabelle's parents though it wasn't entirely within the pack house. Frizabelle and I decided to renovate the second floor where her radial room was located and made a pathway where one of her windows faced the woods. From there, a hallway bridge connected the pack house to ours. Our house was securely and well built cabin style house with stone concrete base on two giant sequoia. It was like a tree house that has a bridge connecting the main house of the pack. On our cozy modern cabin first floor where the bridge intact, it was an open floor plan between living area, dining and kitchen with a powder room. Then on the second floor where the rooms were located, our master bedroom with a master suite bathroom. There were also two vacant rooms for our potential kids in the future if we could have them, a full sized bathroom and lastly, our music slash library. It was simple and clean but relaxing since we're surrounded by calming trees of the woods.

Anyway, I got up from the bed and started refreshing myself since Alpha wanted to talk to me which I've got the feeling that her daughter, my wife didn't like much. As Frizabelle and I were on the way to the main house, I was right when I noticed that Frizabelle was indeed in her foul mood from being interrupted from our make-out session in our bedroom. Knowing Frizabelle for a year, she doesn't want to be disturbed especially when she set her mind on something and that includes me. Just thinking of it, I can't help but to be happy on how she wanted me for all to herself.

"Don't you dare laugh on me." Frizabelle said in her pissed mode which I can help to laugh at.

"I JUST TOLD YOU NOT TO LAUGH!" She groaned like an irritated mate that she's always been which automatically I recieved a smack behind my head.

"Sorry, can't help but to find it cute." I honestly told her since to my eyes, whatever her moods are, were indeed fascinating to me. I love them a lot.

"Whatever." She just huffed and kept walking toward the kitchen which made me giggle as I shook my head. I really love this woman walking in front of me.

As we entered the kitchen to have breakfast, nothing changed here aside from her father, the alpha was indeed waiting for us at the breakfast table while drinking a cup of hot morning coffee while her mother, the luna was checking the fridge if there's something needed to buy for the whole pack.

"Morning." I greeted Frizabelle's parents which Irine, the luna and wife's mother smiled at me and greeted me back.

"Finally. Hurry up and we're going to talk about a deal we need to make." Gregory, the alpha and the father of Frizabelle said to both of us we came closer to the table. Honestly, nobody knew that I am calling him 'father' since before the wedding but only we're talking alone.

Anyway, as we took a seat across from Gregory that exactly Irine came with tons of bacon and eggs on the plate since the fried rice was already on the table. Each of us took some breakfast and began to eat as Gregory started to speak.

"Okay to start off, you Frizabelle, I know you're still attending school but starting today you'll be also undergoing for the Alpha position and you will be in charge of our whole pack so you'll be staying within our territory. I wanted to see if you were capable of leading a pack; a family…" Gregory said but he noticed that Frizabelle who was still in a foul mood didn't want to hear anything from her father. Gregory growled with his alpha tone.

"Father, don't. She was in a foul mood since we've been interrupted." I chuckled as I protected my cute mate next to me who just hit the back of my head again after hearing those words come out from my mouth.

"I told you." Irine giggled that made her husband sighed then he coughed to cut that conversation and went back on the serious matter before the other pack members came in.

"As I'm saying, Frizabelle will be handling our own pack as well the nearby packs and clans that our allies." Gregory continued saying toward his daughter who still did not want to listen to him. She just kept eating her breakfast.

"And Ceres?" Frizabelle asked her father and still not looking at him.

"I'll be doing the outfield transaction." I answered for him who just nodded which Frizabelle snapped her head before she glared at me. I sighed but I just looked away then I took the whole bite on my two bacons.

'YOU WHAT?!'

"You heard me, Belle…" I sighed toward her shout through our mated link.

'Why didn't you tell me soon? Are you even planning on telling me? We're married, Ceres!'

"I know we're married and like a married couple does, I will explain them to you. Just please be patient and calm yourself." I told her with my calmness rubbing into her since she just released a heavy sigh which made me kiss her hand.

'Fine, better to explain them to me tonight.'

"I will, my beloved queen." I replied which made her blushed all of the sudden. I smirked since it only meant that she heard Iolana through that. Iolana could make her blushed like that while I irritated her in a good way. Well, I just hope she won't kill me tonight.

As we were done talking to Gregory, we continued our breakfast silently until the other pack members were slowly coming into the kitchen to get some breakfast. Some of them just woke up from the slumber and some just finished their morning routine around the pack while for some, they need enough energy for the training exercises and some patrols again. In short the quiet breakfast that we just started off was getting more noisy and lively because of their fun mocking. This was another typical morning routine within the pack house kitchen with some adults who were sometimes acting like teenagers as they joined their children in making fun of each other. For a year in half living with them, it was totally fun and I got used to it; not to mention that I also love to do the cooking for them whenever I've got time.

As everyone finished their fun and lively breakfast, most of the mother's within the pack helped their luna, Irine to clean up the kitchen, the house, and took care of the laundry as well. As for the remaining mothers were taking care of the young children while their husbands went to their designated post whether its about patrolling the perimeter or doing some training for the new generation or just helping their wives. Everyone was busy on their respective tasks which all of them enjoyed and loved. As for Frizabelle and me, we might have joined the other patroller for daily run within the pack's perimeter but each has a designated post and since we're joining the fun by running, we took the liberty to check the perimeter near the school.

On our way there, we did what we always do on our runs. We trained our speed through racing then there mixed up some attacking and defensive stunts to enhance our strength in fighting skills as well to stay in good shape. Running into the woods was indeed fun but it's more fun spending it with the one you love. It was indeed fun especially when watching Frizabelle run like a wild animal within the perimeter.

"You are lovely." I mated link to my lovely wife while running ahead of me since I let her in this time.

'So are you.'

I smirked from hearing them but I have thought something playful for my love and that was to cloak my entire being. Meaning, I vanished behind those trees as I cloaked my entire aura and scent which made her notice my sudden disappearance. I watched her carefully as I planned something to surprise her. But doing that, something made me wonder as Frizabelle stopped from her tracks and prepared herself from something that would attack her. I was proud of her but there was indeed something odd lurking around us. I took the liberty to climb up to the tree where I am hiding since it was just a few feet away from her back. As I continued to cloak myself, I looked around the woods while I was on the tree and there were some trespassers and they were not human. They were wolves, a rogue one.

"Belle, on your 12, 30 feet away…" I mated link her as I kept hidden from the tree and watched those rogues walk to where she was standing.

'I got it.'

"Need a hand?" I asked which just she just huffed like a pissed wolf again. What did I do this time?

'No. But you can't hide from me. I know your few steps behind me.'

"Touché, my beloved queen. Touché." I smiled as I replied to her since she was indeed right which I can tell that she was blushing again and it was indeed lovely.

Anyway, as I let myself be hidden and watch my mate on how she can deal with this situation since she was in her training as an Alpha. I took the liberty to report this to Gregory since we always do training all by ourselves.

"Father, three rogues in our way but Frizabelle was the one was dealing with it, now." I privately reported to Gregory since I'm the one who's training her daughter. She has my blood in her system which made her also a fallen in some way - well, especially when anger really strikes her.

'I see, watch them carefully and protect my daughter.'

"Always have. Always will." I replied before I cut the private link and watched those rogues walk like they don't have mind at all.

I wanted to tell my wife but she has to deal with this as a part of her training to become an Alpha. As those three rogues were coming closer to her but she didn't even flinch, run away or call for any help, she just stood her ground so guarded and alerted.

"Just call me if needed." I mated link her since she knew that I won't help her unless it was indeed needed for me to help her. I would be glad to do that without having second thoughts. She's my wife and my beloved.

I was indeed proud of her but I must ensure that nobody was going to ambush us this morning. I used my sight ability to see further around the perimeter as I checked if there's somebody lurking around and it was clear. I might have thought that this wasn't any threat to our pack but I couldn't be so sure about it since the pack was changing and threats are not so welcome here. Not in my watch. I looked at my mate who was standing firmly onto her ground but her wolf aura, Lena's, slowly was leaking out from her that made those rogues jolted and growling defensively.

"LEAVE MY TURF NOW!" Frizabelle growled with Lena's that seriously echoed throughout the woods that sent a shiver to them even to me but I didn't surrender. But it sort of made me a little hot as I found them sexy.

They whimpered in fear and with their tails in between their legs, they left without talking back.

'I heard that, Mine.'

"Lovely then." I flirted back at her which made her sighed.

When those rogues were already off the territory, I jumped down to hug my mate but instead of a hug, a very hurtful slap landed onto my face before she kissed my lips. Weird, right?

It was just her irritation over me turned out to be violence since we mated and married for a year and a half. Good thing my cheeks weren't swollen over those slaps. We're definitely like ice and fire but we still know how to deal with each other's differences. That's why I can still tease her – a lot.

"Shall we go home? Tomorrow will be our busy days." I whispered to her ears that made her smile at me so sweetly then we went back on our racing as we attacked playfully at each other as we did our perimeter run again.

Yet, I know deep in my guts that there was something sinister behind those bushes waiting patiently. I can tell what they are and it's none other than rogue wolves that I very much knew. They might have the ability to hide their scents from the others as their defense but not to me.

"I know you notice them." I mated link my wife while we were running back to the pack house.

'Of course, that's why I borrowed Lena's aura for the min time plus to alert the pack.'

"Heh, that so you and I'm so damn lucky to finally have a life here…with you." I told her that made her blushed out of embarrassment even though there was nothing to be embarrassed about what I just told her since she's already my wife.

But there was one thing I didn't mention to her, there was one familiar scent from my old days that paid a visit to check on my living now. I know that if this person pays someone's home for a visit, there was something about to happen. It only meant be ready for whatever it could be.

As we got back, out of the blue she hit the back of my head lightly like it was a mannerism of hers around me then went straight to our room to take a bath and not even inviting or waiting for me. I sighed then I heard a familiar sly giggles from Irine, her mother like she knew what just happened between me and Friabelle. She likes the reaction that her daughter was showing us and I was the only one who could let them out. Well honestly, I'm also loose whenever she's around me like I'm not a vampire who lives for years that I couldn't count within my hands anymore.

Frizabelle

I might be a little - well, violent around Ceres since she was still irritating me with that scent of her. But there were still unread pages that I couldn't manage to read with her consent or explanation. Meaning, there was something she was not telling me aside from the job that she got from my father. Seriously, he didn't make it any easier since every time I wanted Ceres for myself alone, he would take some opportunity to occupy her with pack business.

"I want my mate to myself." I whined as I soaked myself within our new home.

'I understand but our wife was just pleasing Dad and the whole pack. Remember she's still a vampire, well, a vampire fallen rogue to be exact.'

"I know, Lean. it's just I couldn't help it." I groaned as I splashed some water to my face.

'Learn to control yourself then.'

"I hope I can soon." I whined as I took my last soaked in the tub before heading off to the walked-in closet within the bathroom to get something to wear.
